* The Shangri-Las song "Leader of the Pack" is the heartbreaking tale of a teenage girl being forced to break up with her boyfriend Jimmy because her father doesn't approve of her relationship, shortly before Jimmy dies in a motorcycle accident.
-->I felt so helpless, what could I do?\\
Remembering all the things we've been through\\
In school, they all stop and stare\\
I can't hide the tears, but I don't care\\
I'll never forget him, the leader of the pack.

* Grey Delisle's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kXXTe6M1PE cover]] of "Bohemian Rhapsody" is possibly the most heartbreaking song one might ever hear. It takes on an even deeper meaning when we realize this woman also voiced Azula from ''Avatar: The Last Airbender''. Although, your mileage may vary on that one ...

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvrP82-hnZo "Flying Free"]], an often-performed choral piece composed by Don Besig (though lyric sites identify it as being by one Jenna Lynn, presumably the soloist on one version of the song). You've all heard [[WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail "Somewhere Out There"]], right? It's precisely that kind of song.



* Not a well-known song (the Internet knows the lyrics and that it was by one Jenna Lynn, but doesn't seem to have a clue who Jenna Lynn is), but there is a song called "Flying Free". You've all heard [[WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail "Somewhere Out There"]], right? It's precisely that kind of song.

* ''He Was Older Than Her'' (Он был старше её), a song by the Russian rock group "Mashina Vremeni" ("Time Machine"). The titular guy is in love with a girl who has the habit of going out flying at night. She promises him to stop, but can't help it, while he is afraid she will forget the way one night. So when that happens, he waits for three nights, and then [[DrivenToSuicide walks out of the window]].

* "What Have We Become?" by DC Talk has to be one of the darkest, if not the darkest Christian contemporary songs ever made. The first verse describes racism in the church, and the second verse ramps it up by depicting a young girl committing suicide at Christmas because she believed that her unexpected birth was the cause of her parents' dysfunctional relationship:
-->"Mom and Dad are fighting\\
As Rosie lies there crying\\
For once again she's overheard\\
Regrets of their mistake\\
With Christmas bells-a-ringing\\
Little Rosie'd leave them grieving\\
The gifts she'd give the family\\
Would be the pills she'd take\\
(Oooh-oh) An inconvenient child\\
(Oooh-oh) She wasn't worth her while..."

* Freezepop's "Swimming Pool" can do it, particularly the last few lines "I went under and you followed/let's not think about tomorrow/everything is perfect now". It can be even more so, if you associate it with [[MayflyDecemberRomance Snake]] [[HeterosexualLifePartners and Otacon]] from ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4''.

** Also "Way To Fall", particularly since it plays right after the soul-crushing ending of VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3.

* VideoGame/{{Fallout}} fans unite: The Inkspots took melancholy to an art form. "Maybe", "I Don't Want to Start the World on Fire", and "If I Didn't Care". Mix and match with 50's nuclear apocalypse, art deco, underwater distortions, and objectionism. Keep a tissue handy as well.

* "Holocaust" as [[https://youtu.be/aAF36fypHQc?si=c-9eQKu3y-16b2EQ originally]] by Music/BigStar was already [[NightmareFuel/BigStar dark and gloomy]] as is, but the Music/ThisMortalCoil [[https://youtu.be/R_m6uPFJyiE?si=9L0GtXIhG2n97F8i cover]], with its orchestral strings and more pronounced piano chords, turn it into something truly potent.
-->Your mother's dead
-->She said don't be afraid
-->''Your mother's dead''
-->You're on your own
-->She's in her bed
